During the financial year 2021-22, it added 707MW of renewable energy capacity.

To expand these green businesses, the company has begun a strategic partnership and created a renewable platform that has received a Rs40bn investment from Blackrock Real assets and Mubadala Investment Company.

It is also establishing a 4GW solar cell and module manufacturing facility in India’s southern state of Tamil Nadu, which would involve an investment of around Rs30bn.

Chandrasekaran also said that Tata Power is on the path to becoming an environmental, social and governance (ESG) benchmark in the power industry.

Last month, the company commissioned India’s largest floating solar power project, with 101.6MWp of capacity, in Kayamkulam, Kerala.

The project covers a 350-acre offshore area and is equipped with a 5MW floating inverter platform, anchored to the waterbed by 134 cast pile foundations.

Tata Power said the facility is India’s first floating solar photovoltaic asset to provide power under a power purchase agreement (PPA).

The Kerela State Electricity Board (KSEB) will use the clean energy generated by the floating solar facility under the terms of the PPA.
